(i) x^y^z  <(x^y )^z   A. z=1∨x=1∨y=1∨x=0∨y=0∨z=0        not satisfied  B. z>1  B1. case x>1,y>0          y^z ln x<yzln x⇒y^z <yz ∵(x>1, ln x>0)          (z−1)ln y<ln z           y<z^(1/(z−1))   B2. 0<x<1, y>0          y^z ln x<yzln x⇒y^z >yz ∵(x>1, ln x>0)          y>z^(1/(z−1))   More cases can be considered similarly.  only integers need to be considered for  −ve numbers. otherwise result will be complex.
